Brian Omeara's F84's
Brian has been very busy with the F-84 in the last couple of years. Henry from HVN models has just finished a second kit from Brian.
The first picture is "Babydoll". This is the plane that Brian got from Who Da Man. She is now painted in Dutch airshow markings with the pinup of Babydoll" on the nose
The Dutch airshow team borrowed four planes from the USAF for a two week demo. This was one of the planes that was borrowed. The nose art was on the us plane and the Dutch left it there for the two weeks.
One of the kits is a Recon verison called an RF-84F, it has six cameras in the nose. It is the long nose 84 with six cameras that Henry built. Has a jetcat 200, Futaba radio. I think it is the only one flying in the world.
The last one Henry just finished. It has not flown yet. Henry built the custom built this hatch. I will get more pictures soon.

RE: Brian Omeara's F84's
room for everybody. The shop is 1600 sq feet. HAs eight electric hoists. A 220 volt air compressor that is outside and plumbed into the shop with eight stubs coming out of the wall. SO lots of air for painting, plowing dust out of fuselages and cycling landing gear. Tons of electrical outlets and overhead lights. It is attached to my house with a firewall between the house and the shop and has an industrial sprinkler system in the ceiling.
Light colored tiles in the front of the shop and beige carpet in the back. So if you drop a screw, it does not go bouncing . The tiles are soft, so easy to stand on for long periods of time . Easy access as I installed a double sized garage door. So I back my truck or trailer up and awl three steps to load. There is a wall mounted shop vac with outlets throughout the room, so sanding dust can be easily vacuumed during the job.
Yea, it seems like it is a mecca of RC guys hanging around. The picture of the P-47 was taken last week as the plane was getting ready to pack for Top Gun.
I love Republic airplanes. Especially the P-47 and the F-84s.

Is that a Saab Viggen standing on its tail in the background?

Thomas, it's a Liebetrau Saab Draken. It's one of my planes, hitching a ride with Brian to Top Gun

I knew it looked like one of those Saab models.. Pretty cool airplane, are you going to do a build thread?

RE: Brian Omeara's F84's
Did not plan to do a build thread. There is one on RCU already, done by Frank Alvarez.
Here it is: http://www.rcuniverse.com/forum/m_66..._1/key_/tm.htm
I'll post some shots of the finished model. We should be ready to paint in late December/Early January. Right now all the many extra scale details from D4S are being added to turn it into a competition plane. The kit is super detailed out of the box from the manufacturer, but there is always room for adding stuff.

Hey JC,
Was paging thru RCU and found your reference to my J-35 Draken!
As you guys know, Ive been campaining this beautiful jet since its debut at the 2008 Top Gun. Many changes over the years, and now sporting a drouge chute, more appropiate weathering, inner gear-well details along with a pretty cool afterburner from
Andy Low @ Electrodynamic. The most recent recognition came at the "2012 Horizon Air Meet" where the Top-Gun award was presented for a weekend of great perfomances with the mighty Draken!
Here are some late photo's to encourage you to finish up that one so that we may get them up in formation.
